Military analyst Alex Alfirraz Scheers warns that a US ground assault on Iran could trigger a dangerous escalation cycle, as Tehran retains a substantial arsenal of ballistic missiles capable of striking US and allied forces. This development is significant in biblical terms as it places the United States and Iran — ancient Persia — on a potential collision course in the Middle East, a region central to end-times prophecy. Ezekiel 38 identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key actor in a great future conflict involving Israel, and the current military tensions align with that prophetic framework.
